Paragliding is a kind of flying sport invented by a group of pilots who love parachuting and gliding. At present, it is very popular in Europe, America, Japan, and other countries. Paragliding is different from the traditional parachute; it is an aircraft.
Paragliding originated in Europe in the early 1970s. At that time, some mountaineers glided down the mountain by parachute and experienced a beautiful feeling and fun, thus creating a new aviation sports event. The original paraglider was an airfoil square parachute used for aircraft parachute jumping. It mainly for lower down, with fast descent speed and good safety performance. Through more than 20 years of development and evolution. At present, paragliding can fly for up to 17 hours, with a maximum distance of more than 300 kilometers. It embodies a kind of communication between man and nature and is loved by those who advocate nature.
In recent years, this sport has developed rapidly in western countries, such as Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Spain, and other developed countries have many flying masters. People ride paragliders, run, and take off on the hillside, roam in the air, talk with the mountains, shake hands with the white clouds, integrate their body and mind into the nature, and enjoy the human courage and strength. Paragliding is very popular in Asia, Japan, South Korea and other economically developed countries and regions, with more than 100000 enthusiasts.
Alpine gliding is a fun and exciting flight. It usually takes off from the top of a mountain hundreds of meters high, and the take-off field is usually a steep slope. You should have a certain amount of courage. First spread the umbrella at the take-off site, check the equipment, confirm that the wind direction and wind speed meet the flight conditions, and take off decisively under the command of the instructor. Do not hesitate at this time. Otherwise, do not take off forcibly before it rains or when the wind exceeds the allowable wind speed for parachuting.
If all goes well, you are already in midair. At this time, you may be excited and overwhelmed. The air flow will also make you swing from high to low. Don't worry. Because of the pendulum principle, the paraglider will automatically maintain its balance. When the wind speed is stable, you can try to find the power airflow along the mountains. If you are lucky, you can circle for a long time. When the weather is good, the air around the ground becomes lighter due to the warming of the sun. If the updraft is used, the paraglider can be raised to several kilometers.
